Laugh and the World Laughs With You Take 2.....

While Rosie-girl and I were driving home, she said, "Wow Mom look at the sunset. It is amazing."
I turned to look as I was driving and instantly my mind flashed to the night before when the moon showed us a sliver of a crescent shape in the sky. My thought that went with that picture was......"Oh look it is a full sun today."

Yeah I really thought that. We had a good laugh over it when I realized my silliness and shared with her. She said, "Wow Mom at least you didn't share it with a group of people like you were in a real conversation."

No I figure I will just blog it here so that everyone can have a good laugh.

Lost in Translation....

Last night he came up to me and said, "Are you going tomorrow?"
"Yes", I replied. "I can give you a ride home if you need it."
"Cool!" he said. "Esta muy es bueno! Oh you probably don't understand Spanish. I told you that you sing like a beautiful bird with an amazing voice."

*****

Ha! I haven't had Spanish classes since 7th grade but I know he only said "that is very good".
But of course the flattery does earn extra points.

Directions Are Challenging.....

He sat directly behind me as I drove him home tonight.

"Yeah just go straight through here," he said. "Now turn that way."

"Which way is that way," I asked. "do you mean left?"

"Oh yeah, I do mean left. I am just so bad with all that numbers stuff."

I thought my girls were going to bust a gut as they laughed at the cute mis-use of his wordage.

Pippin exclaimed, "Oh that is so rich and classic! mom you have got to write about this one!"

Answering The Post...

It is fun to answer questions. After all who doesn't like to focus on themselves just a little bit?

The first thing I notice about people.....I think it is all a matter of perception. I watch peoples' behavior because even when I walk up to someone for the very first time of ever meeting them....that first encounter says alot.
Do they smile?
Can they look me in the eye?
Do they mumble or speak with assurance?
You can learn so much about a person's strengths and weakness just by watching how they carry themselves. I think it is a big reason why I like to sit back and watch people in a crowd. In turn, I take what I have learned and apply it to my own life.
Did my smile express sincerity?
Am I remembering that I am never alone but that God is with me all the time?
Do I reflect confidence and an open heart?


You asked some really good questions.
A. Do you walk with your head, pelvis, or chest leading?
You know, I had to get up and walk aroun d the room a few times to figure this out. My girls think I am so strange. haa haa I would have to say...chest.

B. Boots or shoes?
I think boots because I love to hike.

C. Do you prefer things being BIG or small?
In relation to what? pillows....big
dark chocolate...small
strawberries....big
SUV....big
yard...small
encounters with rough people....small

D. If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Because of the superpower, you also got a major weakness too - what would that be? Force of good? Or evil?
Hmmm very thought provoking......I don't think I'd want to fly. Could I disappear? Naw that would be like cheating all of the time. To be endowed with wisdom like Solomon...no that isn't a superpower. That is just a wonderful blessing. How about being able to soothe anyone and anything by my voice. Down side?.....I lose my voice twice a year like clockwork.

And the Winning Question Is.....

you know those emails.....you'd be lying if you said you have never received one.
It asks for details on those little or not so little known things about you....so the person who did the sending can "learn" you better.

Well, I just received one from a dear friend from high school. Some of the questions are silly and some are rather interesting. I wonder though, who sits down and actually creates these emails that span the globe several times over again? Are they unable to get away from their computer? Are they surrounded by mounds of Hot Pocket boxes and that weekly delivery is their only source of living breathing contact?
Some of the questions are so odd. the original list was 46 questions long. Here are just a handful of them with my answers.



5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS AND HOW MANY?
oh boy, anyone who knows me knows that is a loaded question. It is so funny when I get asked that and must spend more than one sentence explaining my answer. I usually get, "What?! You don't look old enough to have a 27 year old! You must hold your age well." That of course is a compliment but I always end up feeling like I cheated or something after I am finished explaining.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
NOOOOOO...giggle giggle

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Okay this is one of THOSE questions...does it matter and who cares? (I guess #7 is still having it's affect on me)

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
personallity

22. IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
(This is set up to be one of those introspective phsychology questions) I just ventured over to the Crayola Database to view their colors. Wow there is actually a history on color crayons. It brought back memories. How many times my Mom and Dad would tease me about their special color being Chartreus. I always thought it was a made up name ...like when my Dad would say something was Lavender-Yellow. There are some really interesting names there..... Tickle Me Pink, Razzmatazz, Inch Worm...I find myself wanting to choose a color simply by it's name instead of what it actually represents.

23. FAVORITE SMELLS?
spring and summer mornings

29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
Ha Ha! NO! I love answering THAT question. It was so cool to go into DMV a couple of years ago and have them take OFF the vision correction stipulation on my license.

35. HUGS OR KISSES?
hugs definately

39. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
Interestingly enough, I just finished reading a junior high level book titled The Giver. Even though my goal was to screen review it for teaching purposes, I found it to be a great book for presenting the quandary of Utopia and Dystopia. It is a thought provoking book that opens the reader's mind without the needless item content that some other books of the same catagory have.

42. FAVORITE SOUND?
nature and my wind chimes

44. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME?
Goody....being an MK makes this question fun......Japan or Madrid, Spain
